[let's *grab hands* and Live together]

the world is so big.
you can do whatever you want.
seriously.
there is nothing stopping you.
yes, there are laws... yess there are natural laws... and if you believe in God then there is some sort of governing force there.

but you can essentially do whatever you want outside of that.
nothing can stop you.

you can walk around and sing in the supermarket. by yourself.
you can draw (in marker) on your arms.
you can use ring pops as engagement rings.
you can color on your walls.
you can wear white after labor day.
you can kiss a complete (consenting) stranger.
you can speak in a fake accent wherever you go.
you can get married in the middle of a field
or in a dark basement
or on a ski lift
or in your own home with no one else around.
you can wear things that went out of style.
you can change the pronunciation of your name.
you can paint all your nails a different color.
you can mismatch your clothes.
you can make a cake made of random ingredients.
you can spend a day leaving snow angels in your neighbor's front yards.
you can draw a star on your cheek in glitter.
you can write a song about anything you want.
you can sing as loud as you want in the car.
you can make your own clothes. even if you don't know how.
you can compliment strangers.
you can do whatever you want.

what is stopping you...?
what do you have to lose...?
who is there to tell you that it cannot be done...?

you don't have to have engagement rings.
or a big wedding.
you don't have to wear what is in style.
or follow fashion rules.
you don't have to stop yourself from singing when you want to.
you don't have to follow a recipe.

just because things are one way, doesn't mean it can't change.
especially if it's in your control.

nothing can stop you.
nothing governs you.
you only have one life. do it the way you want to.

i'm sure as hell gonna wear white after labor day.
AND paint my nails with different colors.
who governs that? people.
people.
so?
you're a person, too.
and so am i.
and so is the guy next to ya.

life could be so beautiful and different
if we all stopped being stopped.
